Do I Have to Go to Court for a Car Accident Claim?

The thought of going to court can be daunting, especially when you’re already dealing with the aftermath of a car accident.  Sherwin O’ Riordan solicitors are here to reassure you that, in many cases, going to court isn’t necessary. Here’s what you need to know about the car accident claims process and when court involvement might be required.

 

Settlement Negotiations

  • Out-of-Court Resolutions: The majority of car accident claims are settled out of court through negotiations between your solicitor and the insurance company.
  • Fair Compensation: Our goal is to secure a fair settlement that covers your medical expenses, vehicle repairs, and any other losses.

 

When Court Might Be Necessary

  • Disputed Liability: If there’s a disagreement over who was at fault, court intervention may be needed to establish liability.
  • Insufficient Settlement Offers: Should the insurance company’s offer not adequately cover your losses, taking the case to court might be the best option.

 

The Court Process

Filing a Lawsuit: If negotiations stall, your solicitor guides you through filing a lawsuit.

Court Hearings: You present evidence and arguments before a judge who decides the case.
